Structure of the Excel table (Microsoft Excel 2013 ... 2019 ... Office 365)
The Excel table - must begin - in the first row with the column headings. All columns must be labelled.
The addresses must start sequentially from the 2nd line and blank lines are not allowed between start and end row.
Blank lines and blank columns outside the address block must be removed.
Optimum set up
The first two columns ( A + B) should contain a consecutive number (for example, SAP number) and the name (for example, company).
The columns ( C + D + E + F + G ) contain necessary address information, but these can be distributed in the Excel table as required.
Please note that the street name must comply with the house number and the country code is in ISO format (US - UK - DE - CH - UK).
The postcode should be complete, e.g. - 5 digits - for USA, Germany, France, Italy, - 4 digits - for Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands etc.
Further information is optional, e.g. telephone, e-mail, web address, sales, employees, imprint etc.
Furthermore, a column with the designation: "Protocol or updated" is useful. Here the program enters the respective (last) processing date
of the address.
All addresses are checked for plausibility. For example, post boxes instead of street names, missing house numbers, missing postal codes
or city names. In this way, corrections can be made in the master data in advance.
